Big Love...:)

Jack's precious Valentine's Party at school!! Yep, he's eating a cake sucker...We are sooooo thankful for insulin:))


Emma thought she was a part of the party too!!:)

The Three Musketeers:)


Just have to say how impressed I am with Jack's preschool!! He is 3 and reading actual words, can write lots of letters, knows all of your basics like colors, numbers, days of week, weather words, etc...But, one of the most precious things I love the most, other than it's small, gentle, friendly atmosphere, is that they do LOTS of art!!! This is the teacher part in me...well, at least the art infused teacher part;) Not only is he learning sooooo much, but I know he's having a ball:))) These are just a few of my favs...Jack's portfolio:))

He cut these hearts himself:))



They did a hibernation unit and he can tell you what hibernation means and which animals hibernate...This is his bear in a cave:)


Of course, our fav is "Where the Wild Things Are"...Awwwwww!!!!

Best Friends

My lifelong best friend, Sutton, had sweet, baby Edwin in October, and this past weekend we were finally able to get all of the kids together for the first time!! We had so much fun!! We played kick ball, the kids made Valentines and had cupcakes and of course, we just hung out and visited!! Having a best friend like Sutton means that our kids will also be best friends by default...actually with any Sory:)) There's nothing like having a true best friend that you love dearly and I've always been so blessed to have Sutton and her family in my life... they ALL truly are my second family!!!






Emma was too busy eating goldfish to play with baby Sutton...Sutton's goldfish at that!!:)

Belzoni Snow

After I realized that Belzoni was suppose to be getting up to 5 inches of snow on Wednesday, we quickly packed it up and got up there!! We got there just in time to put on our snow clothes and head outside!! What a great time we all had!!!

Happy Days...

Jack had his first "real" playdate this week...his best friend Mason came over to play!! Mason actually rode home from school with us and his mom came to pick him up later that day...don't know that I've seen Jack so excited!!!!:) Amazing that he is old enough to already have friends over!! Reminds me so much of me and my best friend, Sutton:))








Notice anything different, besides how much sweet, baby girl has grown...her bed!!! Emma decided a few weeks ago to jump, crawl or fall (not really sure which) out of her beautiful, white, perfect little bed that I searched high and low for before she was born..at only 17 months of age!!! So, we had to put up Jack's old bed, which is also beautiful but definitely does not go with my all white and pink decor, only because his bed lowers more than hers did!! She is definitely our happy, little spitfire:))

"Old" bed...


She was 9 months in these picures...time is just flying by!!!


"New" bed!!

Museum Playtime!!

Emma was sooo excited to be going on a playdate with Mary Ella to the Children's Museum...and of course, Jack got to join in too:)) I'm so excited Emma has a new friend her same age... So fun to watch friendships blossom!! We're going to have lots of fun with Jessica and Mary Ella:))

Catching Up!!:)

Our little Eskimo...sweet girl!!



These slides hold so many great memories for me in Belzoni, so I am so excited that Jack is finally big enough to slide down them!!! Oh how I love Mississippi blue skies!!!:)




MeMe has even gotten into Jack's new Mario craze!!


Emma was soooo in her element wearing a party hat and playing the piano!!:)




Bryan's brother, "Uncle Chad", came to visit and run in the Blues Marathon a couple of weekends ago and got trapped here from all of the Mississippi weather...who would have thought!!:) We were so lucky and happy to have him hang around a little longer than planned!!:)

Merry Christmas, Love Del and Sylvia:))

One of these was going to be Mom and Dad's Christmas card pic this year...but, oh well!! We just didn't get around to some things this year...Next year!!!:)
